Grass eating

: : Phrases found in "The Most Wanted" by Jacquelin Mitchard (Penguin
Putnam, New York, 1998), a novel set in Texas:

: : " But Ginny said, 'You keep clear of that one, girl. He ain't
a bad man. But he's crazier than a cootebray.'"

: : "I had to work in the morning, though I was as sick as a dog
eating grass."

: : ".Tyler Talley, the 'Ready Get Set' Killer, a nineteen-year-old
football star and B student, poor as chalk."

: Dogs and cats with upset tummies deliberately eat grass to make
themselves puke. They invariably wait until they are on the sofa
to do the foul deed.

Yes, unfortunately I am familiar with that. And I have the stained
rugs & sofa to prove it. In the pet store I saw little pots of grass
that one can buy so the animals don't even have to go outside to
nibble and sick up.
